R is a disabled mum of three who has fled domestic violence. For the last three months she has been living in a hotel whilst she waits to be rehoused. Fortunately she has now been granted a property with a local landlord, but unfortunately there are no carpets or floor coverings anywhere in the house. R is desperate to make the house a home, but she simply can't afford the high cost of carpets. We have an amazing offer of free carpets but we just need a little help fitting them.

Total needed £200M is a migrant who has been destitute but now thankfully he has been given permission to stay in the UK. He has kidney failure and needs dialysis 2/3 times a week so has had to give up work. The migrant centre helped him to claim benefits and he has found a place to stay. He is trying very hard to remain as healthy as possible and would love to have an airfryer and a microwave to help him do this. He has appointments to go to for his health and for advice so he also needs an oyster top-up.

Total needed £180M is a single woman and asylum seeker from Ethiopia who was using an old phone a friend gave her, but now it has become a nightmare. It is resetting itself, deleting important files, the battery doesn't last at all, and showing low memory space all the time, forcing her to delete other important documents she needs for her asylum case. M needs your help to replace her phone desperately, and begs for your understanding in her hard times.

Total needed £200We are supporting a man from Afghanistan who is seeking asylum here. He has a background in civil engineering and it would be a great help to him if he could have a laptop to help him learn English and practice his civil engineering studies. A laptop would enable him to run civil engineering programmes and do construction drawings digitally. His hope, as he looks to establish himself in this new country, is to get a job in construction. The gift of a laptop would give him a real lift.

Total needed £200This single mum is living in Billingham with her four children, two of whom have significant additional needs. One of the children broke the cooker, causing the door to come fully off the item, and it could not be repaired. The family has been without a cooker, as they depend on benefits and cannot afford to replace it. This has been a struggle for mum trying to feed the family without a hob and oven to use. Safe Families would love to bless them with a new one.

Total needed £150J is trying to study English and improve his computer skills. He is really keen to develop beyond basic computer use to have a chance at teaching himself coding to an employable level. J is putting a lot of time into studying, but is limited because he can't access a computer outside of library times and a limited time in college. He moved to the UK as a young adult and has no formal qualifications here so a laptop would significantly improve his job seeking chances and opportunities for the future.
